Bilateral basal ganglia calcifications visualised on CT scan.
Thirty-eight cases of basal ganglia calcification imaged on computed axial tomography were reviewed. Most cases were felt to represent senescent calcification. The possibility of a vascular aetiology in this group is discussed. A less common group of patients was identified with calcification secondary to abnormalities in calcium metabolism or radiation therapy. Three cases of basal ganglia cal...
متن کاملTranscranial sonography of basal ganglia calcifications in Fahr disease.
Fahr disease, also known as bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis, is a rare degenerative neurologic disorder characterized by almost symmetric calcifications of the basal ganglia, the cerebellum dentate nuclei, the thalami, and the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis manifests as familial autosomal dominant but also as sporadic forms. Movement ...

Hemorrhage of the basal ganglia is common in hypertensive patients, and most of the cases are spon- taneous unilateral hemorrhage. Traumatic basal ganglia hemorrhage is uncommon, while bilateral hemorrhage of the basal ganglia after trauma is an extremely rare entity. This report described a rare case of bilateral hemorrhage of the basal ganglia after head trauma. We also analyzed the mechanism...
متن کاملIntracranial calcifications on CT.
Computed tomography (CT) is very sensitive for detection and localization of intracranial calcifications. We reviewed in this pictorial essay the diseases associated with intracranial calcifications and emphasized the utility of CT for the differential diagnosis.
متن کاملBilateral subdural collections invisible on a CT brain scan.
We describe a patient who presented with headaches and vomiting. A computerised tomogram (CT) of brain failed to demonstrate bilateral subdural collections subsequently shown on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This case illustrates that an essentially normal CT scan does not always exclude significant intracranial pathology. CASE REPORT A 44 year old female presented with a four month history...
